White Chocolate Buttercream Recipe

Are you a fan of vanilla flavour? Then you’ll love my white chocolate buttercream recipe with melted white chocolate and vanilla bean paste to make up for the best vanilla frosting! 

The texture of the buttercream is silky and smooth, effortless to pipe or spread.

People loved our chocolate buttercream recipe, and we’ve had quite a few requests for the recipe of white chocolate buttercream too. 

Now, white chocolate can be tricky to work with as it’s pretty sweet, and it may be challenging to manage the sweetness of the buttercream. Generally, bakers use a 1:1 ratio of butter and icing sugar which is a lot sweeter than what we like; and then add melted white chocolate to it. This makes it all the sweeter. So, in my recipe, I have tried to cut down this sweetness to our liking.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe? 

  • Versatile: The white chocolate buttercream is quite versatile as you can use any other essence apart from vanilla and gel colour as well to make different flavoured buttercreams such as strawberry, blueberry, raspberry etc.
  • Usage: You can use this buttercream as a filling and frosting for desserts like cakes, cupcakes, macarons, and pastries. It’s stable for multiple uses.
  • Texture: The texture is definitely the plus point here. It does not have that usual grittiness you generally get in an American Buttercream. Since the sugar gets dissolved in milk first, almost no grains are left in the buttercream.

Important Ingredients Used In The Recipe

  • Unsalted Butter: you must use the correct type of butter at the correct consistency. Using unsalted butter at the soft stage will ensure the best outcome. 
  • White chocolate: working with white chocolate can be a bit complicated. It can burn fast if heated for a long duration. Make sure while melting, keep the chocolate for 20-30 second blasts in the microwave and stir in between. 
  • Salt: a pinch of salt can do wonders in a recipe. It helps enhance the flavour you want to stand out. 
  • Vanilla Bean Paste: It is the purest extract of vanilla flavour. It’s very thick and concentrated. If you do not have vanilla bean paste, you can use essence but more than paste quantity. 

How To Make White Chocolate Buttercream

Preparation: Gather all ingredients and the equipment required for the recipe. 

  • Mix Milk and Sugar: In a bowl, mix milk and icing sugar. Combine until all the sugar dissolves.
  • Beat Butter: In a different bowl, start beating unsalted butter until its light, pale and fluffy.
  • Add Milk-Sugar Mixture: Once the butter has been beaten enough, gradually add the milk-sugar mixture while continuously beating. Beat until the milk is combined well into the butter.
  • Add Flavour: Lastly, add vanilla bean paste and salt and give it a final mix.

Chef’s Tips For The Recipe

Tip for Butter

Use only softened unsalted butter. By soft, we mean that you can press the butter, and it makes an impression. Do not use cold/ hard butter or too soft butter.

Tip for Chocolate

Melt the chocolate carefully. You can either use the microwave or double boiler to melt. If using the double boiler method, ensure the steam does not reach the chocolate. Use slightly warm chocolate when adding it to the buttercream. If it’s too hot, the butter will melt. If the chocolate is cool, then it will seize into small grains when added.

How To Store White Chocolate Buttercream

The buttercream can be used for up to 7 days when kept in the refrigerator in an airtight box.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Q1. Why is my white chocolate buttercream grainy?

There can be a couple of reasons for this. If the butter is too cold, it won’t beat well, and the sugar will not dissolve.
Before mixing icing sugar into the milk, make sure to sieve it. Also, mix it until it dissolves completely in the milk.

Q2. Does white chocolate buttercream need to be refrigerated?

If you are left with unused buttercream, you can store it in an airtight box in the fridge and use it for up to a week.

Q3. Can you add food colouring to the white chocolate buttercream?

Absolutely yes! Being white in colour, you can add any gel colour of your choice to this buttercream.

Q4. Can you add any other flavour to white chocolate buttercream?

Yes! If you wish to add other flavours besides vanilla, you can use oil-based essence for the required taste. The common flavour pairings that go well with white chocolate buttercream are mint, pistachio, strawberry, and Blueberry.

Q5. What happens if you beat buttercream too long? 

Beating buttercream for a long can lead to the incorporation of air bubbles in it.

“I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date”
Before this program I knew a little about manifestations, but as I discovered during the program, I had a lot of limiting beliefs that kept me from fully embracing and accepting myself as a manifestor.
During this program I became more aware of what manifestation is and how powerful I am. I become more aware of my guides, of my highest self and that I can pull the best of my highest self into my present. Since this program I no longer wrestle with trying to convince myself that what I desire will happen. I know that it has happened, it is done and it is mine, here and now. I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date, my eyesight has improved and I no longer need glasses for distance vision, only for reading, I gave myself a make-over as part of my commitment to my renewal and I began to de-clutter my space.

“My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes”
Joining “The Art of Manifesting” was a life-changing decision for me. This is now the third time going through the quest and focusing on different areas of manifestation.
Regan is a powerful guide and she walks the talk.
This 28-day journey was a blend of practical techniques and profound energetical activations. I learned to visualize my goals clearly, expand my possibilities, and overcome the limitations holding me back from living a life i desire. The quest’s unique approach to identity hacking helped me align my inner self with my aspirations, making the manifestation process more effective and authentic.
The biggest takeaway for me was the acceleration of manifestation by bending time and tapping into the highest frequencies. The techniques taught in the quest enabled me to see results much faster than I expected. My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes, and goals that once seemed unattainable are now within reach.
I’m beyond grateful for the wisdom and tools I’ve gained from this quest and Regan. It’s not just about manifesting; it’s about transforming your entire lifestyle. I highly recommend “The Art of Manifesting” to anyone looking to turn their dreams into reality.

“This course and listening to Regan’s podcasts gave me the tools to acknowledge my blocks and mindsets around drinking”
I have so enjoyed this journey with Regan, I am a new person as a result of this quest. I now have new beliefs & mindsets that I keep working on daily, hourly. A kinder and more compassionate version of me has emerged over this journey, and I love her!
This quest has resulted in me finding the lost me, the me that has been hidden under the voices of doubt, fear or just lack of awareness that I get to run my life not the other voices in my head or family and people around me. When we wire ourselves to the future version of us, then we make different choices and we are already a different person!
Thank you Regan, thank you Mindvalley, thank you tribe!!!! ❤❤, I love you all and wish you a magical Christmas and hope our paths may cross one day at Mindvalley events.

“My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest”
Before taking this Quest I believed that the prerequisites of success were hard work, long hours, timing and a degree of luck; “1% inspiration and 99% perspiration” was my mantra. Trying to achieve success with this mindset was exhausting, frustrating and unsustainable.

 

I then discovered The Art of Manifesting … and was blown away.

 

The foundational teaching of focusing on your inner world to achieve has been transformative in the way I live my life. I now know that cultivating the feeling of already being in possession of that which you want, accelerates the manifestation of what you desire.

 

My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest, and have discovered a path to manifest greater abundance in the year to come. But perhaps the biggest shift I experienced during this quest now knowing that I am worthy and deserving of abundance. Regan, I am eternally grateful to you, thank you :-)

“Now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered”
Before this program, I believed somewhat in manifestation but never knew how to do it, or if it was real, and the little bit I did know ended up being completely wrong! This Quest has not only taught me how to manifest and put me on the path to doing it the right way, but I was actually able to manifest what I had set at the beginning.
I never thought it would actually come true, but I committed myself to the process and gave it 100% every day. And now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered. It’s truly blowing my mind.
I had a financial goal for the end of the Quest, and different opportunities for selling my artwork started coming up, and the deals are coming out almost to the exact number I had set.
Not only that, but I have truly transformed into a better version of myself in these short weeks, more than I had in the last few years, that my spouse has even noticed.
I’m so excited for what’s to come next and so grateful for this program. Thank you.

“I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design”
I joined Mindvalley on New Year’s 2023. I am excited to share how life has significantly changed in the first 90 days of the year. Beginning with the Silva Method, I envisioned and transformed a dysfunctional personal relationship, into a loving, caring separation, allowing me the peace and serenity to follow my path, and my partner to choose his. In February while on the Art of Manifesting Quest I listed my intent to have a book written by May 2023, and have a speaking engagement booked by December 2023.
I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design, and a journal for Women seeking a deeper connection with themselves, also in design. Both will be uploaded via KDP Amazon self-publishing by May 1st.
I have booked a speaking engagement for May with the intent of having published books with me for sale.
Most importantly – this morning I changed my profile from ‘Document writer’ to ‘Author.’
Gratitude abounds!!!
